Weekend Reading: Canada 150 Edition

Happy Canada Day! We hope you all get a chance to enjoy the Canada 150 celebrations happening across the country. We’re driving southwest to Waterton Lakes National Park to hike The Bear’s Hump and take in the beautiful scenery at this UNESCO World Heritage Site. We’ll also check out Red Rock Canyon and hopefully spot some wildlife along the way.

Afterwards, we’ll head back to Lethbridge and close out the night with what should be a great fireworks display.

“The whole theory of a mall was those department stores, those anchors, would entice customers to the mall in the first place. Then, as customers were going between those two anchors, they would find things to buy at the other stores. The theory started to fail at the same time that department stores started to fail.”

I’m generally a positive glass-half-full person but the article in The Globe and Mail about decumulation is perhaps one of the worst such articles I’ve read on this topic. The “expert” advice is extremely slanted towards a one size fits all approach. For example, they all state that one should defer RRSP withdrawals as long as possible. The obvious caveat is that if you can withdraw RRRSP funds now in a tax efficient way, you should, or at least consider it.

I encourage you to read the article and the comments. It’s within the comments that you’ll get better, more diverse opinions and options.
